He said he had contacted them by email to tell them the approved site plan was only good until the end of September and that if construction isn’t underway by then, “We will need to go through the entire site plan approval process again.” He also said that an extension for up to one year could be requested. Paul Furtaw of Bergmann, P.C. responded to Hibl’s email, saying, “We will be submitting a formal request for a one-year extension of the approved site plan. I will make sure this request is submitted prior to August 24.” Hibl said infrastructure permits had been “pulled” for the proposed complex, but no building plan permits have been applied for. In another matter at Clare’s City Commission meeting Monday evening, a new Clare probationary firefighter, Lindsey Hazen, was honored with a life-saving pin and certificate for saving another firefighter and co-worker’s life. Lindsey Hazen, also manager at Arby’s Restaurant in Clare, recently performed CPR on Bob Keller, who had collapsed due to an apparent heart attack. Bob is a firefighter/ first responder with the Lincoln Township Fire Department. In a resolution, the City Commission unanimously voted to honor Hazen, who performed CPR on Keller immediately. Keller is recovering from wat he called the SVT or supraventricular tachycardia event. “It worked out good for me that day,” he said. Clare Fire Chief Jim Chapman said he was glad to have Hazen on the department. Lincoln Township Fire Chief Dale Majewski said, “These days it is tough recruiting firefighters. Lindsey is a great one.” Other business at the brief meeting included: *A report from Hibl that the Crowd Funding Event to raise $25,000 for the Depot, making it possible to get a matching $25,000 grant, is now at a total of $20,410. “We still need to raise about $4,800.00,” he said. *The Commission also approved the recognition of former Police Department Administrator John Pedjac for his 13 years of service to the department. Pedjac was not at the meeting to receive his framed resolution. *Treasurer Steven Kingsbury gave a brief report on the process of learning the new reporting required for Personal Property Tax Reform and outlined the recent planning session on this year’s audit. *The City approved bills totaling $194,615.70. Lifesaver honored by City Clare Firefighter Lindsey Hazen, also manager at Arby’s Restaurant in Clare, recently performed CPR on Lincoln Township Firefighter and co-workerBob Keller, who had collapsed due to an apparent heart attack. She was honored Monday evening by the City. Shown here are Lincoln Fire Chief Dale Majewski, Keller, Hazen, Mayor Pat Humphrey and Clare Fire Chief Jim Chapman at the Clare City Commission Monday evening.

Wilson said that when deputies arrived and entered the residence the suspect ran, breaking into a bedroom occupied by a resident of the home. The resident in the room fired a gun at the suspect, hitting him. The man was apprehended by officers and transported to MidMichigan Medical Center – Clare for treatment of a gunshot wound. No one else was injured in the home, which was in the 2000 block of Old State Avenue. The claim that the suspect had shot a police officer was not true the Sheriff said. “He didn’t shoot anyone.” Jason Wentworth Dr. Bob Townsent 34-72” Mowers 2016 FILTER SALE ‘16 August 22-26, 70% OFF List Price Orders accepted beginning August 1st. 989-386-5338 48-60” Mowers Loaders Home and Commercial Models BUILDING SUPPLIES Capital Trusses • Lumber • Siding • Roofing New Houses • Pole Barns • Garages • Remodels EQUIPMENT Quality Products • Competitive Pricing • 302 N.

Bud attended Eastern Michigan University and taught 5th grade for Yale Public Schools at Avoca Elementary for a few years.

Marion oversaw bookkeeping duties for the business and cared for the children and household. In the early 80s, Bud took a position with Pioneer State Mutual Insurance and the family moved to Clare, MI. While there, they met many new and dear friends and often enjoyed the company of their church family at Brown’s Corners United Brethren Church. Both Bud & Marion are enjoying retirement, currently living in Yale as they have for several years now. They also look forward to attending their grandchildren’s sporting and extracurricular events whenever they’re able. Marion is caring for her mother but takes a little time away now and then to enjoy short excursions with life-long girlfriends.

Page 4A - The Clare County Review - August 5, 2016 Carriage House Inn restored, open for business By Pat Maurer Correspondent A landmark in Harrison, the Carriage House Inn is once again open for business after being closed for eleven years thanks to a local couple that took on the daunting task. The Inn, which reopened July 15, is located on what has been known for years as “Heritage Hill,” and has been closed since 2005, with former Innkeeper Angela Kellogg, who came to the Inn in 1994, staying on to maintain the complex. This spring, the present innkeepers Vivian and Ernie Lane moved in, just while they were looking for a new home. Then they decided to take over the massive job to restore the Inn. They have spent many months cleaning, decorating, redecorating and re-landscaping the gardens and property to its former pristine appearance. The property includes 137 acres, all but 10 acres wooded, on the southeast side of Budd Lake. Ernie credits Vivian with much of efforts to restore the historic old buildings and grounds. “She works from daylight to dark, seven days a week,” he said. She has the experience to make it work. Vivian (formerly Blackburn) and her former husband Phil were the owners of Sunset Shores Cottages on Stevenson Lake south of Clare for many years. After Phil died about ten years ago, Vivian continued to operate the business on her own, specializing in crafters’ and artists’ retreats. Ernie and his wife Charlene and Vivian and Phil were great friends for 40 years. After Ernie lost his wife two years ago, Ernie and Vivian got together again and married just a year ago. Vivian is originally from Detroit, but has lived in Clare for the last 45 years. Ernie is originally from Flint, but has lived in 17 states and been a business owner dealing in carpets and then drywall. He said his family had a cottage in the area since The Carriage House has seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms and is filled with beautiful antiques. The Fireplace Suites features three bedrooms, two baths and a library. 1953. He moved to the Clare area in 1964 was a business owner here and lived here for many years. He also lived in Florida for 20 years. “After 40 years, I moved back in 2014,” he said. There are three residential buildings on the Carriage House Inn property. The third is a house for the caretaker/manager, but is still being renovated, so Vivian and Ernie live in the Carriage House. “The Inn is ideal for crafting and other artistic retreats,” Vivian said. It is also a bed and Breakfast and has hosted many weddings and other special events. “Luncheons were, and once again are very welcome at the Inn,” she added. The Carriage House can host up to 25 people and the Fireplace Suites up to ten more. The Carriage House has seven bedrooms each with a private bathroom and even two more bathrooms on the first floor. The Fireplace suites has three bedrooms, two baths and a library. The Carriage House also has a 20 by 40 foot deck overlooking Budd Lake. The rooms include Paraschiva, Maggie Mae, Helen Louise and the Theodore Madison. Ernie said the Inn has an interesting history. The south wing of the facility was built in stages over a period of many years beginning in, or before 1934 when the old lakeside home was constructed as a two-car garage. The old home lakeside was the retirement home for Mr. and Mrs. McKinley Browne and the quarters for a private business. The history of the Inn says, “In 1948 the second portion of that building was completed and contains a fireplace in the receiving room that was once used for cooking and heating. The ‘North Wing,” was built in 1964 as was the original carriage house barn. That building is now known as the Fireplace Suites. The property, now owned by Michael Schaffer, who lives on the East Coast, was purchased by a man named McKenna and John Mlinarcik in late 1987 from Mr. and Mrs. Browne. The old carriage house barn was renovated and opened in July of 1994 as the Carriage House Inn, Country Side. Filled with many more than 100 year old fur- nishings, the first floor includes a reception area and formerly a gift shop, the kitchen and manager’s quarters and a Great Room. The soda counter and reception desk came from an old Knapp depart- ment store in Bay City, the windows separating the kitchen and reception area are from an old Central Michigan University building and one of the guest bedrooms contains a more than 100-year-old “bungle bed,” Ernie said, made with a separating panel for young married couples or children of different sexes. Many of the beautiful antique furnishings were found for the Inn by the Brownes, Vivian added, and more added later by Connie and John Mlinarcik. The building if full of them. Located at 1515 Grant Avenue in Harrison, The Inn is just 900 feet north of Mostetler Road and just east of Old U.S. 127. It is open year so you can stop in for a look around anytime.

Page 6A - The Clare County Review - August 5, 2016 Viewpoints Mike’s Musings Michael Wilcox, Publisher/Editor Pat’s Bits & Pieces Pat Maurer, Review Correspondent Just can’t imagine a life without pets I must have been a frog, or maybe a moose in my prior life. For some reason, now that I am a human being (sometimes my wife things otherwise) animals are indeed a man’s best friend, or at least mine. When I was a young lad I confided in my loyal German Shepherd. That dog knew all my secrets, my plans for life, and what I received on yesterday’s homework assignment. No one else knew, but that dog, my very best friend and confident at the time, was closer to me than anyone else. Since then I have always been around a myriad of pets whether it be dogs and cats, or goats and reptiles. I or my family have had them all. Recently my wife brought home two kittens. They were found wandering around an abandoned house. The mechanic shop next door coaxed her in to taking them. She couldn’t refuse. Mind you we already had three dogs and two cats. A month ago one of the kittens gave birth two three kittens. What a surprise that was. Now the second stray cat is also pregnant. Just our luck. We try to do a good deed by taking in two strays only to now learn they were both pregnant. No wonder the previous owners left them behind. A few years ago my ex-wife was forced to stop on her drive home. In the Summer is slipping away! middle of the road was what she thought was a domestic pet pig. For some reason she decided to get out of her car, grab the pig, and toss it in the rear seat and bring it home. For a couple of days she let it roam the house by day, and sleep in the garage at night. Our pet dog at the time was not too hospitable to the pig, and vice versa. Soon the stench from the pig was overwhelming. I demanded she find the pig a new home. Later she drove it to a pig farm where the owner declared “this is not a domesticated pig, lady.” She was told Porky the Pig was actually a wild feral piglet. Just our luck, at least the pig wasn’t pregnant. Did I say animals are attracted to me? As I’m typing this column a cat is lying in my lap and another is laying on my desk in front of the computer screen. That’s great but it’s not so fun when you have a six or was it eight foot water moccasin knocking at your door trying to get in. Just my luck. I’m not making this up. A few years back we were experiencing one of Florida’s daily thunderstorms when lo and behold I hear this rap, rap, rap noise coming from the living room sliding glass door. I go to find out the source of the commotion only to see this long serpent beating its head against the glass. Now not one to be especially afraid of snakes, this one had put the fear of God in my soul. It kept beating on the glass and no matter what I did to shoo it away, it wouldn’t stop. I beat back with a broom, I went outside in the pouring down rain and threw rocks at it, and I approached with a shovel ready to cut it in to pieces, but when it turned and showed it fangs I decided the shovel was not a good idea. So I went back in the house and prayed the evil creature would not break through the glass. It didn’t and eventually slithered away. My life has been filled with animal encounters of one type or another. I have been chased by a Gila Monster and swam with manatees. I have endured an elephant charging my jeep and alligators sunning my backyard. I always thought God put me on this earth to be a journalist, but now as I recall my life, I was probably better suited as a zookeeper. Animals have been a major part of my existence and you know what? I wouldn’t have it any other way. Parents who host, lose the most By Goldie Wood, Prevention & Outreach Manager, Ten 16 Recovery Network Oh man, this summer is flying by! Here it is the end of the first week of August already and you know that summer “to do” list we had? Well we must have lost it, because other than building the deck for our camper I can’t think of much we have accomplished so far… And it’s HOT! I was hoping with the onset of August we might get a little relief from our summer heat wave, but it seems not to be happening. Today the thermometer has been sticking pretty close to 87 degrees and the humidity once again is extremely high. I have been trying to get a little sun each day for the vitamin D, but I can’t stand to be out there in it for more than 10 minutes, and once again our yard is “feeling the burn.” It’s getting a tan – turning yellow! Well despite the temperatures, I still love summer, and guess what, it’s slipping away! According to the Maurer calendar, we only have about four weeks of it left. Now the Maurer calendar isn’t quite the same as the ones we hang up on the wall, but any way you look at it, doesn’t the season really start on Memorial weekend and end on Labor Day? Nice weather after that holiday is a real bonus. Before we know it the snow, that four letter word, will be falling again! And school around here starts even sooner. Three weeks from Monday, the granddaughters, Alea and Alison will both be in high school, Alea for her senior year and Alison as a freshman. I know they have already started their school clothes shopping for this year…saw it on Facebook. I used to go along, but don’t think I could keep up with them anymore. Back to summer. We lead such busy lives that this special time is over almost before it gets started. No wonder we don’t get much done, every weekend seems to be full. One of the ways we cope with this busy schedule of ours is to make lists. Well actually I make the lists. Jack just grumbles about finding the time to do his outdoor stuff. I make LISTS! It is a compulsion. I have a list lying here by the computer with the things I need to get done, a list of the articles I have to write for this week and this column of course. That one I follow pretty good. This week I got all but two articles done and I am working on the column right now. It’s the other lists I have problems with. I have lists of things I need to do today, things I need to do when I get a little extra time (like finish granddaughter Kristina’s quilt), and things I would like to do “sometime.” Of course it helps to be organized and we all know that isn’t one of my special talents – sometimes I lose things, especially my lists! An example? I have no idea where our summer “to do” list got stashed… One year I attempted to use a fancy organizer…you know one with a day-today calendar, lots of extra pages, and even an address book. I’ve had it for about ten years now, and still forget to use it for much. It does make a good address book though! Post-it notes work better for me. I schedule interviews or appointments, write it on one and stick it to the top of the computer screen. Sometimes I even remember to look at them… Other places don’t work quite as well. I’ve written notes at the office, stuck them in my purse and never found them again. I even bought a bigger purse while we were up at the camper last weekend. It has room for my camera and pad of paper, and for all my “stuff,” six outside pockets and three more inside. Now I can’t find anything. Anyway for a few more weeks, it is still summer out there. It’s a bit too warm, but still sunny and beautiful outside nearly every day, there’s a abundance of fresh stuff to eat from the gardens and at least 40 more days until the trees are really turning again. We are planning at least two more weekends up at the camper by Labor Day and maybe a few more in September. Forget the lists. Life can’t get any better than that! Proud to be a Pioneer Jim Walter, Superintendent Clare Public Schools Getting ready for school! Addiction stigma A major challenge for those who have an addiction to drugs or alcohol is facing and overcoming stigma. Stigmas are imposed by society, communities, friends and family members and can cause major discrimination and hurt. Addiction is a disease that can be treated with appropriate medical intervention. However, many people believe that addiction is a character flaw or a weakness in a person. They may believe that the alcoholic simply can’t hold their booze. Perhaps they think that the marijuana smoker just needs to stop. And they are likely to believe the person struggling with methamphetamine abuse should just smash their pipe and get over it. Unfortunately, it is not so easy to overcome addiction. There are many factors as to why a person continues to use a drug despite the negative consequences. We “learn” the stigma of addiction early in life. We hear its echoes in our families, our schools, our communities, the language we use when we talk about people with addictions, and the popular media. And many of us continue to hold it in some forgotten pocket of our belief systems long after we encounter undeniable scientific proof and flesh-and-blood human evidence that addiction is a medical condition, and that people with addictions have the full range of human qualities. Being alone could be the worst possible scenario for those suffering from drug addiction. Without any outside help, these individuals remain chained to their environment, which unfortunately makes it difficult for them to resist temptation. By working together, controlled substance abusers can find the path to sobriety. Regardless of what you believe about addiction, whether the disease is a “choice,” or not, you can Goldie J.

She enjoys camping, fishing, hunting and reading. still become the catalyst of change if you’re open enough to understand the problem for what it really is: 90% of all people with substance use disorders go without treatment. You may not think it’s your position, or concern, to rally yourself to the plight of addiction and the effects it has on the people suffering from it– but ultimately their suffering becomes your own. When we are united against an affront which would have us all at the mercy of a compulsive disorder we are able to render aid when needed, protect ourselves, and help change the landscape to become more effective so the brunt of burden does not weigh so heavily on our shoulders. Think of the impact of drugs on underprivileged communities. It’s not enough that your neighborhood doesn’t have enough illicit drug activity that is noticed, what is of concern is one, your community does suffer from an unseen threat of addiction, and two, those communities outwardly suffering separate the lives of those who live in it. Through a united effort, we can stop the momentum and destruction of addictive behavior, while providing opportunity and hope. The The Clare County Review Clare Public Schools will start the 2016-2017 school year on Monday, August 29th and end the school year on Monday, June 5th, 2017. We have received a three-year waiver from the Michigan Department of Education to start school prior to Labor Day beginning with the 2016-2017 school year, along with all of the other public schools in the ClareGladwin RESD. More than 230 of the 540 public school districts in the State are moving to a pre-Labor Day start for next year. The Legislature recently passed a new law requiring 180 days of school per year starting with the 20162017 school year. This adds 5 school days to our traditional calendar. If we started school after Labor Day, we would not get out of school for the summer until June 9th, and that is assuming that we would not have to add any days to the end of the year for excessive snow days. In 2006, the Legislature passed a law prohibiting school from starting before Labor Day as an attempt to support tourism. However, what we have found is that most families are home and are ready for school to start in mid-August because our dual enrollment students have started their fall college classes and fall sports and band are already practicing. Most of our students are more eager for school to start in August than they would be to continue well into June. Clare Public Schools will start school with a half-day session on Monday, August 29th. Do not worry if you have made family vacation plans during the last week of August. Enjoy your family time. Keep in mind that our pre-Labor Day start calendar has been approved by the MDE for the next three years, so please plan accordingly. The 2016-2017 school year will end with a halfday session on Monday, June 5, 2017. Christmas Break will take place from Friday, December 23rd through Monday, January 2nd, with students returning January 3, 2017. Spring Break is March 27-31. Also this school year we will be implementing a series of half-days. Students are released at 11:39 a.m. on these days, but your teachers and district staff will remain hard at work on district and grade level curriculum, assessments, interpreting data, and planning for your kids’ education. We’ll use this time to keep making Clare Public Schools THE Place to Be! A copy of the new calendar is published in this edition of the newspaper. You can also find it online at www.clare. k12.mi.us. It is the first listed announcement on the district homepage. Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and support regarding these changes for our public schools.

The Clare County Review - August 5, 2016 - Page 7A -------How we make It Cold!------- Dear Editor: During these hot summer days, we want to make it cold or at least cooler. But, how is cold made? How are objects or spaces cooled down? As it turns out to “make cold” is quite difficult and it is oxy-moronic. Cold is defined as the lack or removal of heat. The problem is the laws of physics have proven that, while in use, every household appliance produces heat as a by-product. (Efficiency is a measure of how much heat will be generated. Unfortunately, most appliances are quite wasteful, which means they generate a lot of wasted heat.) So how do you remove something, when the process intended to remove it is generating the exact stuff that you are trying to remove? To generate heat is easy, rub your hands together or burn anything. But, to generate cold is difficult. In addition, heat is energy; it cannot be created or destroyed. It must go somewhere. It gets transfered, from hot to cold. For example, when you put ice in your drink, the drink cools down but the ice heats up. The beverage losses energy, while the ice gains energy. Ice is especially good because it must melt, before it will heat up. The melting of ice requires huge amounts of heat energy, therefore keeping your drink cold for a long time. And we love ice in the summer time. Ice can absorb a lot heat because it has had a lot of heat removed from it. It was frozen. Which brings us back, how was the heat removed from the warm, liquid water to make it into a cold solid? The natural world has all kinds of heat transfers you feel good. 3. You should always thank Veterans and listen to their stories. It is great to be an American. 4. Make sure your voice is heard and you exercise your rights as Americans. 5. How to make change! ( working foodstand and milk barn.) 6. Clean up after yourself and others if necessary. 7. Sometimes you step in it.... 8. Be genuinely happy when someone does well. 9. Strive to be better. 10. Choose kind. the safety and dignity of your daughters (boys in the girls bathrooms/ locker-rooms because they felt they were girls. What a load!) You are a breath of fresh-air this day and age. A lot of children are being raised by TV and games on phones. It is no wonder that they are more than a little confused. Proper leadership does not have to use bully tactics or intimidation to get people to do right by others. These practices were not part of our nation’s founding. 250 years before that founding, leaders had everyone believing that the world was flat. Respect for authority and faith in God were primary in our schools when this nation began. In my school career of 12 years, I never once saw a fight on the school grounds. In the late 60’s “Values CLUB DO LLAR Clarification” was placed in the education system, God removed, and parents kicked to the curb. Now you have major bullying and killings in schools. This is progress? Angela, when I was in school, we were taught to respect other’s rights and to be responsible for our own actions. Now it’s everyone else’s fault. We were also taught to gather facts and to think for ourselves. Now, after being educated we are being told by elected officials that only they know what is best for us and our children. Hogwash! Truth cannot be hidden forever. Our nation has been accepting likes as a fashion statement for long enough. Thank you for taking a stand. With all due respect, Doris Weakland Harrison River Haven I MILLI LT N Dear Editor, My name is Gina Forster and I live in Harrison. My youngest two children are 15 and 11 and members of the Hill Top 4H Club. I was very upset to hear that the Clare County Board of Commissioners is considering eliminating the funding for Michigan State University Extension and 4H. I hope they will reconsider and find a way to fund this program. With the Clare County Fair just over, I sat down and reflected on some of the valuable lessons 4H has taught my children: 1. You don›t always win. 2. Helping others makes Dear Editor, I would like to first thank Mr. Wilcox for the platform that allows people to speak their minds. This is a great privilege that not all nations have. Under our beloved Constitution, we all have freedom of speech. Note: If our people allow our freedoms in this republic (with the “rule of law”) to slip away then we all be victims of BULLYING, in capital letters. Upon moving from the south, to Michigan, I was made fun of for my homemade dresses and for the words I used and my accent. Big deal! I laughed and went on and suffered no harm. This made me strong, not a wimp and a victim. Angela Isaac – young woman, young wife, young mother, I have a few comments for you. Put your seatbelt on. There is not a wild animal out there that will not put up a valiant fight for their off-spring. Everyone knows it is not wise to come between a mother bear and her cubs. Even the gentle mourning-dove will put a dramatic demonstration to keep other creatures (including us) away from their young. Angela, hold your head high for standing up for O Upset over Commission decision to eliminate MSU within its daily and annual cycles, but we are not talking about those. How do humans make cold? Refrigeration. Refrigeration is a complex series of pumps that expand and compress a gas (Freon), that can remove heat from one side of the appliance and transfer it to the other side. All refrigerators, freezers,& air-conditioners blow cold air in one direction and hot air in the other. They remove heat from the food, drink, or the room and put it someplace else. The fact is that significantly more heat is blown out than is actually removed for the contents, due to the fact all refrigeration has a low efficiency. Point being, making cold is complex and wasteful. It is best not to generate heat energy in the first place, that way you do not have to remove it. Turn off lights and large electronics, unplug unused items, cook outside, or use the microwave. Also remember to take advantage of the natural daily cycles (See Sleeping through the Heat Without AC.) There is your summer time science lesson on Making Cold. Andrew J.

Pleasant at McLaren Central Michigan When you’re facing a cancer diagnosis, the last thing you want to do is travel to an unfamiliar city for treatments, but you are desperate for the best treatment money can buy. For Bill Strickler, a former smoker who’d been a non-smoker for 30 years, the diagnosis from a CT scan follow-up required surgery which he had done at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota last year. During a discussion with his Mayo Clinic oncologist, Bill’s oncologist knew that McLaren Center Michigan has a Karmanos Cancer Center. And Bill knew it was just a few miles from home. The Karmanos Cancer Institute is one of only 45 National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers in the United States, and the Karmanos Cancer Institute at McLaren Central Michigan, Morey Cancer Center in Mt. Pleasant received a Silver Level Commission on Cancer accredited program. Fewer than 30 percent of U.S. hospitals receive this level of accreditation. Bill’s oncologist from the Mayo Clinic recommended that he stay there for his treatment because Karmanos is considered one of the highest ranking cancer institutes in the country. Bill took that recommendation and received his treatments at the Karmanos Cancer Institute at McLaren Central Michigan, Morey Cancer Center. The five weeks of treatments included to sessions of chemotherapy and 28 radiation treatments. During that time, Bill became very attached, personally and professionally to Karmanos and its staff. The highly trained people who care for cancer patients every day at Karmanos make a difference in people’s lives. Every visit during his chemotherapy treatments and his five-week radiation schedule, the professional interactions, friendly conversations and smiling faces that greeted Bill made a positive difference. BETTER TREATMENT. BETTER OUTCOMES.

Mike Bonomo, of Gladwin, heads up the organization, a 501 3C, to help others in need. This is the sixth year for the annual fundraiser. He said, “Six years ago, as I was turning 50, I decided that I wanted to give back on my birthday, rather than to receive gifts. Each year we select someone from the local area that is in need. We invite my family, friends and listeners to come celebrate my birthday by helping someone or a family with help that they need. After five years, we have raised and donated over $36,000.” He is a former morning show host on 98.5 UPA and was even the recipient of last year’s fundraiser. A member of the Forgotten Eagles riders, he was involved in a motorcycle accident just over a year ago and is still in recovery and therapy. Ray Martin, another Forgotten Eagle and also a member of the Michael J’s Annual Fun Run organization, put together last year’s fundraiser ‘Fun Run’ to help Mike out with his medical expenses. This year Ray’s family is one of the recipients. Mike said, “Our motto is ‘Riding for You’, but this year it will be ‘Riding for 2’.” Ray Martin recently lost his battle with lung cancer. Mike said, “He was an amazing person, our friend, and a ‘Forgotten Eagle’. Ray is from Beaverton and his family is in need of some help to pay for Ray’s final expenses.” The other recipient is the grandson of another friend, ‘UPS Ed’ (Ed Piglowski, of the West Branch area.) Mike said for the last two decades, Ed has donated winter wear to needy children across a two-county area. “Now his own grandson Carter Piglowski (#supercarter) needs help. He has been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. We are raising money to help Carter’s parents as they struggle with the daily challenges of childhood cancer.” The bake sale at Jay’s Sporting Goods will be held on Saturday, August 13 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mike said, “this year ‘We ride for 2’ to help raise funds for these two families for expenses and medical bills and to support them as they have for so many others.” He said this year’s Fun Run for motorcycles or any vehicle will be on Sunday, September 18, with registration starting at 9 a.m. at the Juicy Bone in Beaverton. The final stop of the run will be at the Camp Sports Bar on M30 in Gladwin. Along with dinner there will be live and silent auctions, armband sales and raffles. All proceeds will go toward the annual fundraiser for the two families. The riders can also be sponsored. Mike said, “Remember, you just never know when one of us may need the help of our community. I can personally attest to that!

This pig slips out of the grasp of a would be winner. Always a good time at Farwell’s Lumberjack Festival By Steve Landon Correspondent This young lady hits home plate in the skillet toss. A Lumberjack performer sends his axe speeding to the target. Competition from four county fairs less than 30 miles away in each direction left many wondering if attendance would be down at this year 16th Annual Farwell Lumberjack Festival. Traditionally the twoday Festival has started the weekend prior to the beginning of the Clare County Fair in Harrison. This year the event kicked off July 30th the final and biggest day of the fair leaving Sunday as the only day free of competition. Much to the delight of area merchants and festival vendors business was above average along with festival attendance. Even overcast skies and a few sprinkles Saturday afternoon didn’t put a damper on activities. Things got underway on Friday night with vendors from as far away as Ohio and Indiana setting of their booths for the weekends big craft show and sale in the city park adjacent to the historic Pere Marquette Rail Trail. By Saturday morning the park was buzzing with activity as some of the most talented craftsmen and artist in the country displayed and sold many unique creations to eager shoppers. On the side of the rail trail the large pavilion tent filled with picnic tables gave folks a place to visit friends, grab a snack and relax. Throughout the weekend events like the ever popular and entertaining greased pig competition, a 5K run, ladies rubber chicken throw, skillet toss, pie eating contest, horseshoe tournament kids games, prize drawings and more kept visitors active and entertained. In the carving arena outside the Farwell Farmers Market chainsaw artists gave new life to old trees turning logs into stunning works of art. A few steps east the popular lumberjack show once again entertained young and old with their antics and superb skills. 5 K winners Overall - Jonathan Harper with winning time of 15:59.3.

Temperature soared into the 90’s in the weeks leading up to and throughout much of fair week. In the animal barns kids and adults worked tirelessly to see to it all large and small animals stayed cool and hydrated. Thanks to their efforts all of God’s creatures came through in fine shape. This year’s heat along with competition from three other area fairs had little effect on attendance in fact the grounds were just as packed as ever especially in the evening. The 2016 edition of the Clare County Fair - one of Michigan’s oldest continuous county fairs - officially got underway Monday July 25th with large and small animal participants settling in for a long and very competitive week. This year’s event saw an increase in livestock entries in fact close to 300 pigs were shown and auctioned in Saturday’s large animal sale. In the small animal barn entries were up in part due to the return of live poultry. In 2015 the state agricultural officials canceled all exhibits of waterfowl and domestic poultry because of avian flu outbreak. Monday evening closed out opening day with a concert by popular singer Kelsea Ballerini. Screams and laughter once again filled the midway as young and old climbed aboard some downright thrilling rides for their annual adrenalin rush. In the merchants buildings and display areas businesses promoted and sold their products.

Townline Lake Road, Harrison, MI 48625 Phone: (989)539-7128 (Publish July 22, 2016) (Publish July 27, 2016 and Aug 3, 2016) The Clare County Review - August 5, 2016 - Page 7B Clare MidMichigan Medical Center emphasizes patient safety Employees at MidMichigan Health in Clare and Gladwin are committed to safety and quality care – and it shows. MidMichigan Medical Center – Clare recently earned an “A” in patient safety from the Leapfrog Group, a national patient safety watchdog organization. The A grade award came on the heels of MidMichigan Health being named one of the nation’s 15 Top Health Systems by Truven Health Analytics. While the recognition is appreciated by the Medical Center’s staff, the community is rewarded as well said Ray Stover, president of MidMichigan Medical Centers in Clare and Gladwin. “The true beneficiaries are the patients. People can feel confident knowing that their local hospital in Clare is truly one of the best.” He said employees are delighted with the recognition. “They are a proud group right now and they should be. Patient safety is deeply engrained in how we work.” It wasn’t always that way, Stover admitted. “Two or three years ago, we did a safety survey and identified areas where we needed to focus our attention,” he said. “We looked at where we were and where we needed to be.” Leadership at Clare then implemented a number of tactics designed to improve communication and patient safety. Out of the dozens implemented, Stover said two in particular, safety rounds and morning briefings, made a big impact. Safety rounds are conducted by a small team of senior management and their goal is to listen and respond to concerns and suggestions. “Twice a year, we visit the different departments and ask – among other things – if they have any safety concerns,” said Glenn King, vice president of MidMichigan Medical Centers in Clare and Gladwin. “We want to know what we’re doing right and where we need to improve.” When a problem or concern is identified, it’s noted and posted in a public place. “We believe in holding ourselves accountable so we keep the notices visible until they’re fixed. Our goal is have the problem fixed by the next department visit.” As a result of safety rounds, many issues have been identified and resolved. “Safety rounds have also enhanced communication and helped prevent issues,” Stover added. “Even if an accident had not happened, we can identify what could happen and correct the situation.” Safety rounds helped employees realized that a culture of safety is a priority for everyone. “The feedback loop -- proof of correcting areas of concern – helped build employees’ confidence in their leadership.” Morning safety briefings, instituted in January, were also designed to improve communication and safety. They start at 9:30 am every day, each department is represented and Gladwin employees are present via video conference. The goal is to keep everyone informed and to wrap up within 15 minutes. “In the beginning, things were slow and people were less willing to share,” King said. “Now they know we are trying to promote a culture of safety and they open up more. We’re not pointing out errors, we’re just sharing information with everyone at the same time.” “Now, the whole organization knows what’s going on,” King added. “So far, we have identified 70 issues that were addressed and dealt with on the spot.” The improvements in safety and patient care are obvious to those who matter most, Stover said. “When I first came to Clare, the majority of the feedback I received from patients was negative and now the majority is positive. The team at Clare is top notch. They want every patient who leaves our hospital to say that we provided excellent care.” “One of our goals is to become a zero defect organization so we work on a lot of best practices,” King said. Toward that end, he explained that Left) Glenn King, vice president of MidMichigan Medical Centers in Clare and Gladwin, and (right) Ray Stover, president of MidMichigan Medical Centers in Clare and Gladwin, lead annual safety rounds and daily safety briefings. MidMichigan Medical Center – Clare participates in the Hospital Engagement Networks, sponsored by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, as well as other organizations that focus on sharing information among participating hospitals. King said they recently started a process to develop a master facility plan. “We’re trying to decide what Clare hospital should look like five years from now,” he said. “Will the priorities shift to more outreach and screening? Will we have less inpatient and more outpatient interaction?” While initial recommendations for the future are months away, he said managers and staff will be part of the discussion and planning. “It’s been a great year so far and we want to keep moving forward,” King said. “We are always looking to improve and not settle for the status quo. We will continue to develop stretch goals and continue to hit those goals.” Classifieds Classifieds: $1.00 a word ($10 minimum charge) • Deadline for classified ads is WEDNESDAY AT NOON Call 989/386-4414 or email classifieds to [email protected] or [email protected] *(The Review or Press is not liable for classifieds taken over the phone) *No commercial ads Lucky 7 CLASSIFIED SPECIAL • 30 for 4 weeks* $ Your Classified appears in: 1 Print edition of The Clare County Review 2 Print edtion of The Marion Press 3 On Clare County Review website 4 On Marion Press website 5 On digital download version of The Clare County Review 6 On digital download version of The Marion Press 7 On Facebook FURNITURE & APPLIANCES FOR RENT GARAGE SALES BINGO QUEEN PILLOW TOP Mattress set. $175 each.
